Baker is the most scheme-diverse of the top cornerbacks on our draft board, and he fits well in New York from that perspective. He addresses a massive need for the Giants at the second-most valuable position on the football field. Sometimes it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

Love has better ball production than any other cornerback in the draft over the past couple seasons. His 38 forced incompletions over that span were the second-most in college football. He’s also racked up 21 coverage stops and missed only four tackles on 77 attempts in coverage. His 4.54 40-yard dash dropped him down boards, but he can overcome that lack of elite speed with his physicality.

Baker and Love will take the field with the rest of the Giants’ draft class and undrafted free agents during this weekend’s minicamp. Both cornerbacks have the chance to push for starting jobs, with Baker in line to start on the outside opposite Janoris Jenkins and Love potentially the frontrunner for the nickel job.

Last year, Gettleman and the Giants landed four starting caliber players (running back Saquon Barkley, Will Hernandez, B.J. Hill, Lorenzo Carter) and could be on the cusp of repeating that feat with Baker, Love, nose tackle Dexter Lawrence and EDGE Oshane Ximines.
